A Montpelier, Ohio man, accused of abusing a 1-year-old child, has filed a motion to keep certain evidence out of his trial.

Alan Laney, age 47 of Montpeleir, was granted time to file a motion to suppress during a pretrial hearing in Williams County. The judge gave Laney until Aug. 28 to file the motion and scheduled a hearing for Sept. 21.

Laney was jailed back in June after being accused of abusing a child who is just over one year old. He was originally indicted on five counts of endangering children and one count of felonious assault.

The charges allege that Laney cruelly abused and caused serious physical harm to the child.
